What makes all Mother’s special –
ANSWER :
When I came home drenched in the rain my brother said –
“Why don’t you take an umbrella with you !”
My aunt said –
“Why didn’t you wait till the rain stopped !”
My father angrily said –
“You will only learn after getting a cold !”
But my mother while drying my hair said –
“Stupid rain !”
Swami Vivekananda, among other things was a great football enthusiast ! What he said all those years ago still holds true.
“Life is the biggest game man has to play between the ultimate goalposts of birth and death. His dilemma stems from his decisions and relationships; whether he should steer the ball politically or emotionally, keeping control through his creative and artistic integrity. Winning or losing depends on how fairly he tackles the game. Because the rules are already set by the invisible Referee. All he needs to do is play his matches sincerely and without guile.”
We all born to live life to the fullest. Lets Enjoy it without sorrows and pains...
As always

My parents took in a youth for a couple

had lived for a time in Palembang which is
where he picked this up. This was in maybe 1970 give or take a couple of years.
He'd had mental illness issues and taking
on foreign (for us) religions and customs
may have been a way to cope with and channel this, but I think he really did feel what the Swami was saying.
Mary again here. I remember now that
ReplyDeletethe books were by Paramahansa Yogananda
rather than Vivekananda. I looked
them both up to be more sure. Sorry!
